It was examined how far the household analysis, which was developed to collect information concerning the variety of everyday situations of life at households with precarious situations, are suitable for the collection of information concerning different situations in life without precarious situations. The household analysis HOT - household-organization-training - which stem from a project of the German Federal Ministry for family, seniors, women and youth was available. Altogether 83 households with information on 255 persons in different residential districts in Cabbage-house and its adjacent district were collected by means of the HOT-questionnaire. These people lived in 43 households as tenants of the building society - WOHNSTADT Ltd. - as well as people who lived in 40 households as tenants or house owners at the district Cabbage-house. Clear differences were determined concerning the situations in life in both residential districts.
